Founded by Donald Ziraldo and Karl Kaiser in 1975, Inniskillin is Canada's pioneering icewine producer, bringing the Niagara Peninsula global attention. Today, they remain masters of this unmistakably Canadian delicacy. While the Riesling icewines may be the most refined and complex, and the red Cabernet Franc renditions the most flamboyant (especially in its sparkling form), there's something about the icewines made from Vidal, a hybrid variety, that is so gratifyingly pleasurable. Juicy, and drippingly palate-coating, the wine oozes lush, ripe flavors of orange peel, mango, bruised peach and apricot, nuanced by a pollenous, floral quality. — 8 years ago

Rare opportunity to taste the liquid history of Ontario. Brought from the winemaker's own cellar to our class. Really shows it's age with its brick appearance and lots of tertiary notes of damp earth and cellar aromas. The bouquet has many layers and could be explored for some time. The mouthfeel is still wonderful and the palate confirms the nose. This is a wine that will be remembered for a very long time. Many thanks to Herr Kaiser for this milestone in an Oenophile's life. — 11 years ago

Had it April 2010.
Straw yellow colour.
Toasty nose, lanolin, also toasted corn or rice , like some of those snacks. Hints of honey. Kaiser pear, passion fruit, basil, gunpowder, sulphur, lime, green apple.
Mouth still full of freshness, chalky, macadamia biscuits, peanut butter, wax and all there was in scents is there in your palate. Somehow it reminds you of a Mersault, but it has never touched any wood. Passion fruit drives the game, it is long and enjoyable. Many years ahead, but how better it can get? It opens even more with notes of yeast like an old champagne.

Brought to my Ontario wine history class by the co-founder of Inniskillin, Herr Karl Kaiser. The colour is pure gold and extremely viscous. The nose is still tropical as an icewine dispite it's age and filled with tonnes of brown sugar. The palate confirms the nose and is absolutely delicious...the sweetness is well balances by good acidity,the beauty of Vidal icewine is exemplified in this bottle. Danke Herr Kaiser! — 11 years ago

When you hike in the Finger Lakes, you can easily think you're in Burgundy or Alsace. The topography is very close and the climate is just a little more continental. So the choice of grape varieties follows naturally. Pear, apple, and a little pineapple fruit come across in this wine. It has some stony and steely minerality, but less than typical for this region. There's a lot of vanilla and butter, with smoke and oak. These latter elements are too strong in my opinion. And the acidity is a little too weak. If that and the fruit were stronger this would be on par with Chablis. So it's a little off balance. But I enjoyed it very much with a salmon salad. — 10 years ago

3/5 600 bottiglie anno vigne di 50 anni, 18 mesi di legno 40% nuovo più 8 mesi in vasche sui lieviti. Ha stentato tanto ad aprirsi e quando gli altri iniziavano a sedersi lui ha preso il sopravvento. Legno più netto al naso, ginestre e camomilla, the verde, pere kaiser e mela cotogne, equilibrio non perfetto, leggermente spostato verso le note morbide, nel finale una nota morbida di cenere e burro. — 11 years ago

Another refresher which I remember enjoying. As mentioned, I lost my notes from our cider study, so here’s some info I dug up online:
Dry with a delicate bouquet, it presents itself elegantly in the glass. Fine acidity and fruity aromas invigorate the senses - apple can be so wonderful!
Blend of 6 apple varieties - Pineapple rennet, Bohnapfel, Boskoop, Goldrenette vom Mutzengraben, Kaiser Wilhelm, and Royal Short Handle. — 4 years ago
